Looking good!
The Coco-Loco by itself is to strong hu? To much soil n poo in it to use alone in flower. Did you find the same thing to be true? Are you comparing coco to coco-loco or something else?

The six in the 2'x8' tray were the one I put in the coco loco and they adjusted quicker to the transplant. They were the best of the 16 cherry pies. The smaller 10 I put in 2 gallon cloth pots and crammed them all in the 2'x4'. At this point both coco brands are doing the same.

What do you have on hand for foliar?

I changed my mind on the foliar since I found a couple spider mites, so they are getting sprayed with greenclean instead. I just add more calmag and bonemeal.

Ok cool keep us posted on the bugs best of luck with eradication

The 2'x8' tray is the last hold out on the Luna 300s. And they aren't even the latest generation and I am wasting some awesome heat sinks on old COBs. That tray was running one HLG-320 to 6 Luna 300s but now will be running 4 CLU058s @ 400 watts total and will also be angled toward the wall like the 2'x4' tray.
As for the soil and the Sherbert, all I can do is up the nutes and I will add Epson salt to the organic big time terminator ( or something like that).

Shit it taking off. The 2'x8' tray is now 400w, up from 320. I still think I am at or under 1500w. The soil side looks like I had a pH problem. I have been paying to much attention to the Coco side, I wasn't phing the soil side.

Very nice thread

I have been looking for a better thermal paste, and I think I might have found one.

This stuff says up to 16 W/mK. This might be what I need to turn the COB up to 320w on the 320w heat sink.

Have you ever heard of Omega Engineering? I've been using this stuff for years... Might be cheaper than the junpus..

Thanks @Godfather420 I am chatting with their tech right now.

They weren't as helpful as I was hoping. I had to explain what a COB was. Their paste is for sensors and things. I may still get some to test against Arctic Silver 5.

It's a bit of a shock sometimes to 'ask the expert'- only to discover you know a lot more than they do!

I have gotten use to it.
I never thought I would be using these guys a an example for why I am changing things some. I have read a bit on this, but have always ignored it and set everything to 50% humidity. Since I have been running CO2 and leds, the room is set to 83*F, but 50% humidity making my mini split and dehumidifier fight each other, both are 750w @120v and I am only running 1500w of light. I know if I don't have the dehu that high, neither turn on that often. So I am starting with 75% humidity for now.

Wait till you see what that higher humidity does during veg brother just make sure the girls get adequate airflow

I'm starting into week 5 of flower, but I do have adequate, if not overkill on airflow.

My apologies did not realize. On the phone not the PC so was just responding to the most recent lol. Been working in my garden on and off since midnight lol. Have to take a lot of breaks ...........

I turned my dehu up to 70%, which gives me 75% humidity and bumped my mini split up to 85*f. Now, 1600w ( add another 100w to the 2'x8' tray) of lights in the room it took about 2 hours to get into the 80*.

I'm running just under 60% this run during lights on n 45-50% during lights out w/ the de-hu on a timer, only coming on when lights out. The stand-up AC's keep it between 56-59% while lights are on.
Working out well. Not battling the de-hu w/ the AC. Plants are happy.
Not sure I'd let it go up to 75% though.
My mini-split as well as stand-ups both de-hu the room n send the water to a sump pump. If yours is set up w/ a sump pump connected too, you should be able to turn the de-hu off during lights on. Mines on a timer n only comes on @ lights out.

I know, but the VPD chart puts my sweet spot at 75% humidity. My dehu is hooked to fan/co2 controller, to shut it down at night and the fan system then controls humidity when the light are out. The CO2 is not hooked to that controller. It now has it's own wall plug controller.

Does your mini-split have a pump connected to it? That in itself will keep your room around 60% during lights on.
Not sure I trust the VPD chart for trizzal. 75% is a danger zone no matter what w/ tree IMO.

Yes, it is the Ideal Air 12,000 BTU 120v (750w max) with heat pump and dehu mode.

On just cool mode, it should pump out water. Just need the small hose n pump. That should keep you under 60% w/o using the De-hu. Only for lights on. Lights off you have you're exhaust working the room, so, this way may eliminate the need for the de-hu altogether.
